Webinar: Modbus- How Do I Make It Work?

April 26, 2016
2:00 PM EDT

Modbus is a serial communications protocol originally published in 1979 for use with its Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). It has since become a standard communication protocol and is now a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices.

In our first Modbus webinar, you learned how Modbus was developed, the difference between Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, and Modbus RTU over TCP.

In this second Webinar we will get into the details of how to make Modbus work.

Sign up and learn more about:

  • Modbus configuration: master/slave or client/server
  • Modbus deployment: steps to commissioning a new installation
  • The physical layer of Modbus: wiring
  • Modbus demonstrations
